As I’ve discussed previously, the plate method is my favorite way to get someone on track with a positive nutrition plan that can be used daily. But what about those that don’t necessarily need to lose weight? What about the folks that need to put on weight or focus on performance??? Enter what I like to call “Layering”. This method added to the plate method will help get the gains you need without have to track your calories by weighing and measuring. While I’m not against the WAM method, this option is a great solution to a that would be tricky problem.
